Genesis 13:1-18 — has come to its right issue in confession and supplication. The sense of acceptance with God, which he had before experienced in these places of meeting with God, he has now recovered. The spirit of adoption, therefore, speaks within him.Genesis 13:5-7The collision. Lot now also abounded in the wealth of the East. The two opulent sheiks (elders, heads of houses) cannot dwell together anymore. Their serfs come to strife. The carnal temper comes out among their dependents. Such disputes were unavoidable

Genesis 25:1-11 — êypâh , “'Efa, oscuridad”. עפר ‛ êper , “'Epher, polvo”. אבידע 'ǎbı̂ydā‛ , “Abida', padre del conocimiento.” אלדעה 'eldā‛âh , “Elda'ah, ¿sabiendo?” Cetura le da a Abraham otra familia, y se la reparte, después de lo cual muere y es sepultado. Génesis 25:1 Agregó y tomó una esposa. - Según las leyes de la composición hebrea, este evento pudo haber ocurrido antes del registrado en el cierre del capítulo anterior. De esta ley tenemos varios ejemplos en este mismo capítulo. Y no hay nada contrario a las

Psalms 2 overview — suppose that David was the author; and by those who admit the authority of the New Testament this will not be doubted. The reasons for supposing that its authorship is to be traced to David are the following:(a) It is expressly ascribed to him in Acts 4:25-26 : “Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?” etc. There can be no doubt that this psalm is here referred to, and the quotation in this manner proves that this was the common understanding

Daniel 7:23-27 — became possessed of this authority, and wielded it, such a fact would express what we are to expect to find in this kingdom.(3) From the midst of these sovereignties or kingdoms there was to spring up another one of peculiar characteristics, Daniel 7:24-25. These characteristics are the following:(a) That it would spring out of the others, or be, as it were, one form of the administration of the same power - as the eleventh horn sprang from the same source as the ten, and we are, therefore, to look for

Matthew 16:24-28 — to God his will, his affections, his body, and his soul. Let him not seek his own happiness as the supreme object, but be willing to renounce all, and lay down his life also, if required.Take up his cross - See the notes at Matthew 10:38.Matthew 16:25Whosoever will save his life ... - See the notes at Matthew 10:39.Matthew 16:26For what is a man profited ... - To gain the whole world means to possess it as our own - all its riches, its honors, and its pleasures.“To lose his own soul” means to be

Matthew 17:24-27 — your master pay tribute? - This tribute was voluntary, and they therefore asked him whether he was in the habit of paying taxes for the support of the temple. Peter replied that it was his custom to pay all the usual taxes of the nation.Matthew 17:25Jesus prevented him - That is, Jesus commenced speaking before Peter, or spoke before Peter had told him what he had said. This implies that, though not present with Peter when he gave the answer, yet Jesus was acquainted with what he had said.Prevent

Acts 2:23 — or adversaries. It means that Jesus was surrendered, or given up to his enemies by those who should have been his protectors. Thus, he was delivered to the chief priests, Mark 10:33. Pilate released Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to their will, Mark 15:15; Luke 23:25. He was delivered unto the Gentiles, Luke 18:32; the chief priests delivered him to Pilate, Matthew 27:2; and Pilate delivered him to be crucified, Matthew 27:26; John 19:16. In this manner was the death of Jesus accomplished, by being

1 Corinthians 3:23 — forth a pure desire to Heaven that the time may soon come when all these contentions shall die away, and when the voice of strife shall be hushed; and when the united host of God’s elect shall go forth to subdue the world to the gospel of the Saviour?5. The proper honor should be paid to the ministers of the gospel 1 Corinthians 3:5-7. They should not be put in the place of God; nor should their services, however important, prevent the supreme recognition of God in the conversion of souls. God is

1 Corinthians 3:23 — deseo puro al Cielo para que pronto llegue el momento en que todas estas disputas se desvanezcan, y cuando la voz de la contienda sea silenciada; y cuando la hueste unida de los elegidos de Dios salga para someter al mundo al evangelio del Salvador? 5. El honor apropiado debe ser pagado a los ministros del evangelio 1 Corintios 3:5. No deben ser puestos en el lugar de Dios; ni sus servicios, por importantes que sean, impidan el reconocimiento supremo de Dios en la conversión de las almas. Dios debe

1 Thessalonians 4:17 — Entonces nosotros que estamos vivos - Aquellos que entonces estarán vivos; ver 1 Tesalonicenses 4:15. La palabra aquí traducida “entonces” (ἔπειτα epeita) no significa necesariamente que esto ocurra de inmediato. Marca correctamente la sucesión en el tiempo y significa "después, siguiente, siguiente en el orden de los eventos"; Lucas 16:7; Gálatas

1 Timothy 5:23 — instancias en Wetstein. La palabra griega aquí utilizada no aparece en ninguna otra parte del Nuevo Testamento. Pero use un poco de vino - Mezclado con el agua - el método común para beber vino en el Este; ver la Bibliotheca Sacra de Robinson, 1: 512, 513. Por el bien de su estómago - No fue por el placer derivado del uso del vino, o porque produciría hilaridad o emoción, sino únicamente porque era considerado como necesario para la promoción de la salud; es decir, como medicina. Y tus enfermedades

Hebrews 5:1 — sacerdote. El sumo sacerdote estaba a la cabeza de los asuntos religiosos, y era el juez ordinario de todo lo relacionado con la religión, e incluso de la justicia general de la comunidad hebrea; Deuteronomio 17:8; Deuteronomio 19:17; Deuteronomio 21:5; Deuteronomio 27:9-1. Solo tuvo el privilegio de entrar al lugar santísimo una vez al año, en el gran día de la expiación, para expiarse por los pecados del pueblo; Levítico 16. Debía ser el hijo de alguien que se había casado con una virgen y estar

Hebrews 7:10 — autor en el hecho de que "Levi no había designado a Abraham para actuar en esa capacidad", se podría instar con la misma fuerza contra la representación. de Adán y Cristo, que el lector encontrará establecido en las notas complementarias en Romanos 5. En cuanto a la fuerza del argumento, sobre este principio, no puede haber ninguna duda. Si el representante, el pacto, así como la cabeza natural, de los hijos de Leví, pagaron diezmos y reconocieron la inferioridad a Melquisedec, su inferioridad se

Hebrews 9:2 — object; and is, therefore, expressly declined by him. “Yet,” says McLean, his manner of declining it implies, that each of these sacred utensils had a mystical signification. They were all constructed according to particular divine directions, Exodus 25:0. The apostle terms them, “the example and shadow of heavenly things,” Hebrews 8:5; “the patterns of things in the heavens, Hebrews 9:23; and these typical patterns included not only the tabernacle and its services, but every article of its furniture,

James 2:26 — stated in such language as the following: “By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight,” Romans 3:20. “We conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law,” Romans 3:28. “Being justified by faith,” Romans 5:1. “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ,” Galatians 2:16. Compare Romans 3:24-26; Galatians 3:11; Titus 3:5-6. On the other hand, the statement of James seems to be equally explicit that a man

James 2:26 — idioma como lo siguiente: "Por las escrituras de la ley, no se justificará ninguna carne a su vista," ROM 3:20 . "Concluimos que un hombre está justificado por la fe sin las escrituras de la ley", Romanos 3:28. "Estar justificado por la fe", Romanos 5:1. "Saber que un hombre no está justificado por las obras de la ley, sino por la fe de Jesucristo", Gálatas 2:16 . Comparar Romanos 3:24-26; Gálatas 3:11; Tito 3:5-6. Por otro lado, la declaración de James parece ser igualmente explícita de que

1 Peter 3:19 — said;” that is, he said. So Ephesians 2:17, “And came and preached peace,” etc. Matthew 9:13, “but go and learn what that meaneth,” etc. So God is often represented as coming, as descending, etc., when he brings a message to mankind. Thus, Genesis 11:5, “The Lord came down to see the city and the tower.” Exodus 19:20, “the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai.” Numbers 11:25, “the Lord came down in a cloud.” 2 Samuel 22:10, “he bowed the heavens and came down.” The idea, however, would be conveyed by this

1 Peter 3:21 — resurrection of Jesus Christ. The whole efficiency in the case is derived from that. If he had not been raised from the dead, baptism would have been vain, and there would have been no power to save us. See this illustrated at length in the notes at Romans 6:4-5. The points, therefore, which are established in regard to baptism by this important passage are these: (1) That Christian baptism is not a mere external rite; a mere outward ablution; a mere application of water to the body. It is not contemplated

1 Peter 3:22 — business of all Christians to seek the salvation of others. This is clearly the duty of ministers of the gospel; but it is no less the duty of all who profess to be followers of the Saviour, and to take him as their example and guide. Compare James 5:19-20.(b) It is a duty especially devolving on those who have relatives who are unconverted, on account of the advantages which they have for doing it. They are with them constantly; they have their confidence and affection; they can feel more for them

Jude 1:3 — amado - una expresión de afecto fuerte utilizado por los apóstoles al abordar sus hermanos, Romanos 1:7; 1 Corintios 4:14; 1 Corintios 10:14; 1co 15:58 u> span>; 2 Corintios 7:1; 2 Corintios 12:19; Filipenses 2:12; Filipenses 4:1; y a menudo en otro lugar. cuando dio toda diligencia, cuando aplicé mi mente con seriedad; Implicando que se había reflejado sobre el tema, y ​​pensó, especialmente
